Punishing The Limpers

Until now the table has seemed to have a pretty liberal attitude towards limping. The tide may be changing if recent action is anything to go off.

In one hand German Marchese limped up, with Nino Ascenzio completing from the small blind. Angelo Prifti powered it up to 125,000 from the big blind and both players folded.

A hand later saw Prifti limp from the small blind only to have Sam Khouiss force the fold with a 125,000 chip bet.

Another example saw Lawrence Gibson trying to get in for cheap from under the gun, only for Carl Booth to make it 160,000 as the next to act.

With this type of aggression we can't be far way from our first elimination.
